If you have finished viewing programmes on your TV,
press the

leave your TV in standby mode for the timer settings to
be activated. If, however, you wish to continue watching
other programmes after setting the timer, you can do so
by changing programmes in the normal way. If you are
watching another programme when the timer is due to
start, a display will appear on screen advising you that, if
you change channels, you automatically cancel the

If you do not wish to cancel or view the recording, press

to change programmes, you automatically cancel the
recording.
Notes: If your video recorder (VCR) is not Smartlink-
compatible, you will need to set your VCR to switch
on and off automatically after setting the timer on
the EPG. If you want to change channel once a
digital programme has started recording, select the
channel by using the remote control buttons as
normal. The message 'STOP RECORDING' will be
displayed on screen. Either do nothing to allow the
recording to continue or select the required channel
once more while the message is still displayed on
screen. The recording will then be cancelled.
